1 Hôtel Londres Saint-Honoré from £92

Such a pleasingly quiet little street, yet only a stroll from the heart of
culture- vulture land: the Louvre, Opéra, Grand and Petit Palais. This hotel
is also full of character: loads of half-timber detailing, an ancient
squiggly staircase, bits of statuary here and there and a charming
first-floor salon. Pleasant and uncluttered rooms, with decent bathrooms,
vary in size according to the price you pay. Lovely staff, too. Breakfast is
£7.95. Details 13 Rue Saint Roch, 1st; 00 33 1 42 60 15 62, hotellondressthonore-paris.com
